<\/a><\/p>\n. . . after breakfast and packing it was time to hit the road at 9:00am. But . . . not before our groups biggest tipper, Gina, left her customary tip for those cleaning the rooms. Oh yeah . . . we are that messy!!!!!<\/p>\n
This morning we would ride out of town, for the first 15 miles, on a paved trail, provided by the Florida parks Department\u00a0 . . . nice<\/p>\n . . . and they are trying to do the right thing in preserving the local eco-systems . . .<\/p>\n One of the great little scenes we passed by on the trail . . . can you spot the fisherman?<\/p>\n After a quick 15 miles, we exited the trail at Hawthorne and onto the open road .. .<\/p>\n . . . this one was not sleeping. Had a chunk taken out of his side, maybe by a turkey vulture . . .<\/p>\n Here is something I haven’t seen in WI, local municipalities posting hearing notices on the piece of land being consider for a Conservation Easement . . .<\/p>\n . . . half mile down the road there was this sign . . . might be a land development fight a brewing !!!<\/p>\n Soon we arrived in Florahome, our half way point today, and it was time for lunch. We had already chowed down when we passed this restaurant on the way out of town. Too bad we were full . . . looked like a fun place!!!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
